A event on Thursday 15th September. The event starts at 18:00.
Serchia Gallery is honoured to present Beekeeper, a solo exhibition by Sadie Catt. Please join us Thursday 15 September from 18.00 pm for the opening reception. The exhibition will on view through 22 October 2022 and open daily by appointment.
EXHIBITION STATEMENT
Bees can be violent and unpredictable. Keepers must live with the understanding that they could get stung, but for them, it is worth the harvest of sweet honey. Beekeeper is an authentic depiction of staggered recovery.
The work explores an ongoing reestablishment of the artist's relationship with men; not as individuals, but as an ambiguous concept. It considers the confused correlation between this and an understanding of her own feelings of vulnerability as a woman.
Beekeeper was made in an attempt to reflect upon fear, threat and trust in a manner which is safe and accessible. For the artist, this work consolidated the continuation of life, new experience and growth.
